I created a simple flow comprising a single "send mail task" under Eclipse and tested its behavior successfully after configuring the mail server properties in an associated <activiti.cfg.xml> file as follows:<property name="mailServerHost" value="smtp.gmail.com" /><property name="mai

Hi,
You could start investigating into this class: MailActivityBehavior

find this line:
email.setSSLOnConnect(processEngineConfiguration.getMailServerUseSSL());
and check if the values set into the email object are correct.

As i know google also needs TLS = true
<code>
<property name="mailServerUseTLS" value="true" />
</code>

Hi,

I had a similar problem. The documentation and naming of properties are somewhat inconsistent using Spring Boot, I had to use <java>mailServerUseTls</java> (camelCase) instead of <java>mailServerUseTLS</java>. Maybe worth a try I guess.

Thank you both for your suggestions. After further reading and some more investigation, I decided to remove all e-mail server related settings (including advanced mail settings around SSL/TLS use) that I inserted earlier in the engine.properties files (for activiti-exporer and activiti-rest) and move them into the following files:

./webapps/activiti-explorer/WEB-INF/classes/activiti-custom-context.xml
./webapps/activiti-rest/WEB-INF/classes/activiti-custom-context.xml

as part of org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration. Subsequently, I was able to send mail properly. So, my issue seems to be resolved. Once again, thanks.

Hi gurolakman,
I'm happy you solved it.
i'm sure it will be useful to the community to close this thread in a "Open Source" way so the other people interested in this could benefit from that.

so what do you think about sharing to the community the settings you did for gmail ? (don't forget to mask your passwords and account name )

Most certainly Attached pls find copies of the config files that I used for activiti-explorer and activiti-rest, respectively.
